               From my personal opinion, I believe that former First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama is one of the smartest, most fierce women to walk the halls of the White House. This woman brought an intellect and attitude to her job as First Lady that is and will be unmatched for the years to come. In this poster that reads “First Lady Michelle Obama as Madame America” shows Michelle putting on her gloves in the shadows of the White House and the Capitol Building. What really stood out to me was the fact that she was putting on her gloves with those two prominent buildings in the background. This stood out to me because knowing Michelle Obama, she is a very smart woman and knows politics and social issues. With her putting on her gloves in front of both the White House and Capitol buildings, I am making the interpretation that she is planning on running for either congress or even president to do works such as fighting for both racial and gender equalities. Though I do not believe are not any social issues or struggles being addressed within the painting, I do believe that if she was to run for president or any other political position, she would fight for not only women’s rights, but she would also fight for other equalities such as race and sexual equalities. I chose to write about this poster because I feel that Michelle Obama is a national figure who is looking to not only fight to change America, but to change the world in showing not only a woman could be President, but a fully African American person could be president too.
